Public Health Meltdown in SF

SAN FRANCISCO - This supposedly "progressive" city's Health Commission has approved draconian cuts to public health. Public Health Nurses (below on right) have been exposing the drastic impact these cuts will have for San Francisco, and the SF Chronicle reported on this story in its March 3 and March 5 editions.

We need your help. Please contact the Board of Supervisors and let them know this is an unacceptable assault on the basic human necessities of their constituents.

The threatened cuts include:
• SFGH Workers Comp Clinic,
   slated for March 15 elimination

• Public Health Nurses Chronic Care Team,
   slated for April 15 elimination

• SFGH Oral Surgery,
   slated for April 15 major reductions

• SFGH Elective Surgery,
   slated for April 15 major reductions

• Mental Health Clinics Directors,
   slated for April 15 elimination

• Busters Place,
   slated for April 15 elimination

• Community Non-Profits,
